Favourite Fedi Software.

Feel free to post opinions as to why.

@shebang I think Pleroma is doing everything right on a fundamental level. The switchable frontends promotes longevity, as that piece can be upgraded or changed completely independently of the backend. This allows developers to take the software in pretty much any direction they want. I envision a future where backend development is consolidated on Pleroma, and there are many competing frontend options. The fact it's interoperable enough to do that is amazing.

Elixir is a good language choice, and it's extremely efficient, lowering the barrier of entry and making it cheap to spin up hundreds of servers. I love everything about it.

I played a lot with Misskey today and it impressed me at how feature rich it is, but I think Pleroma is a better foundation and they will catch up quickly on some features.

Mastodon is out of the question, lmao. It has its perks, but it's very quickly becoming obsolete.

@alex @shebang What makes you say it's becoming obsolete? Do you think people will switch away from it to #Pleroma in the near future?

@realcaseyrollins @shebang The timelines do auto-update, new posts just get captured in a queue you have to click to expand. Planning to make it a user preference in v1.1, but I don't think it's better without the queue. It pushes posts down the screen while you're trying to read them.

@alex @shebang Ooh, nice! I'm looking forward to this!

I've been able to circumvent this by scrolling down slightly; it halts the feed and stops the scrolling.
